That... might have helped? It doesn't do anything for the people who were killed on impact, but at least none of the people who are just dying instead of dead are getting more crushed? And some of the rubble was pretty unstable before, and this probably averted any secondary collapses.
The situation is still pretty grim. Most of the light in the room is coming from fires; all the local light fixtures were smashed, and the ones in the hallway outside have dimmed to a dull red. There's a keening alarm klaxon interspersed with emergency announcements about fires and the power supply and containment walls, but nobody seems to be rushing to respond to them from the rest of the facility.
